Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 19, 1907.

Application filed November 20. 1906. Serial No. 344,336.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, GEDEON BOISON- NEAULT and THEOPHILE BOUOHER,citizens of the United States, residing at Manchester, in the county ofHillsboro and State of New Hampshire, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Holders for Filling-Carriers, of which the following isa specification.

Our invention pertains to devices for holding filling-carriers inshuttle-bodies; and it consists in the peculiar and advantageousfilling-carrier holder hereinafter described, and particularly pointedout in the claims appended.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure1 is a detail plan view illustrating in full lines our novel holder asproperly positioned relative to a shuttle-body and a filling-carrier,which are shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a vertical section takenthrough the longitudinal center of the holder and illustrating the sameapart from the shuttle-body and filling-carrier. Fig. 3 is a perspectiveview of the filling-carrier holder.

Similar letters designate corresponding parts in all of the views of thedrawings, referring to Which- A is a shuttle-body open at its top andunder sides, as indicated by a, for the reception of a filling-carrier.

B is the fillingcarrier, provided with the usual circumferentialprojections 79, and C is our novel holder for retaining thefi1ling-carrier in proper position in the shuttle-body.

The holder 0 comprises a shank 0, designed to be fixed in the ordinaryor any other approved manner in the shuttle-body A, and open jaws d,formed integral with and diverging from the inner end of said shank, andit is preferably, though not essentially, equipped with the usual springD. Said holder C is provided in the inner sides of the forward portionsof its ins d with vertical or approximately vcrtical grooves e, shapedto form inclined holding-surfaces f for cooperatin with thecircumferential projections b on the filling-carrier B and holding thesame in an inclined position in the shuttle-body A,

try of the circumferential projections b on the filling carrier orbobbin B into the grooves e and to render easy the placing of thefillingcarrier or bobbin inside the spring D, as well as to prevent thefilling-carrier orbobbin jumping out of the holder. In this connectionit will be noticed that it is necessary precedent to inserting thefilling-carrier or bobbin in the holder 0 to hold said fillingcarrier orbobbin at such an angle of inclination as to aline its circumferentialprojections b with the grooves E, and from this it follows that thefilling-carrier or bobbin must assume the same position before it cancasually leave the holde It'is obvious that the filling-carrier orbobbin is not likely to casually move to the considerably-inclinedposition stated, and that therefore our holder is highly efiicient inpreventing casual displacement of the filling-carrier or bobbin.

It will be gathered from the foregoing that our improvements contributematerially to the efficiency of filling-carrier or bobbin ho] ders ofcorresponding type and yet do not appreciably increase the cost of thesame.

The construction herein shown and described constitutes the preferredembodiment of our invention but we desire it understood that in practicesuch changes or modifications may be made as fairly fall within thescope of our invention as claimed.

Having described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s

1. A device for holding a filling-carrier or bobbin in a shuttle-body,having open jaws, upright grooves in the inner sides of said jaws, andinclined grooves communicating with and extending at an angle from theupper ends of the upright grooves.

' 2. A device for holding a filling-carrier or bobbin in a shuttle-body,comprising a shank,

open jaws extendingirorn the shank and havset our hands in presence oftwo subscribing ing in their inner sides upright grooves and witnesses.

inclined grooves communicating with and extending at an angle upward andoutward from the upper ends of the upright grooves, and a spring restingbetween the open jaws and straddling the shank.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto his GEDEON X BOISONNEAULT;THEoPHiflE BOUOHER.
